<p>I'm a little confused about what the deadlines actually mean. If for ED, a college says all parts of the application need to postmarked by November 1st, do you have till 11:59 on the 31st of 11:59 on the first?</p>
<p>The latter</p>
<p>You can submit it at any point on November first</p>
<p>I was under the impression that “by November 1st” means everything had to be sent/postmarked before then.</p>
<p>I’m assuming he is talking about sending it online, he just said postmarked because that is how the college presented the deadline. But yes, if it needs to be postmarked by November 1st and you are sending it in the mail, it would probably need to be sent before that date.</p>
